"It's going to be the type of team we're going to have to beat when we get to the World Cup, we're going to have to beat the best to be the best."

The USA hasn't defeated the Matildas in their last two meetings, which both came at the Tournament of Nations in 2017 and 2018 respectively. 

Recently the USA were unable to retain their SheBelieves Cup crown after draws against Japan and England, the eventual winners, with their only win coming over Brazil. 

This all came after a loss to France in January however, the reigning World Cup Champions have never gone undefeated in a World Cup year. 

For Alleway, it's not just a big year professionally but personally as well after her boyfriend Cameron popped the question in early March. 

Despite her fiancé being American, the Victorian has re-assured that he will be supporting the Matildas.

"He's American but he's going for us to that's fine," she said.

The Matildas face the USA on Friday April 5 at 12:30pm AEDT. The match will be broadcast LIVE on FoxSports 503 from 12pm AEDT.
